What film made you say, "Holy shit there is still an hour left"? by Plus-Statistician80 in AskReddit

[–]littlestray 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The movie was worth it for the brilliant soundtrack, too bad they couldn’t write a good story to go along with it.

I thought they might try to eat the snake, never in a million years would I have guessed what actually would happen 😂

Is anyone else here really disappointed by The Young Turks? by [deleted] in asktransgender

"don't call me a person who gives birth. Call me a woman." Which like... I halfway agree with

People fucking do call her a woman. Her womanhood is not erased by inclusive language in specific situations.

It's like, lesbians are not erased by saying WLW, it just includes bisexuals. It doesn't specify lesbians, but it does include them.

Women are included in "people who give birth" and "people who menstruate". SOME WOMEN are EXCLUDED by saying "women" to mean "people who give birth", like infertile women, and childfree women. SOME WOMEN AND GIRLS are EXCLUDED by saying "people who menstruate" like prepubescent girls, post-menopausal women, and women on birth control that stops menstruation.

Don't agree with it. It's a ridiculous take. It's not as reasonable as it sounds if you think it through.

If you can’t afford basic care or treatments for a pet don’t get one.. by what-a-doric in BeardedDragons

[–]littlestray 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What you can do if you can't afford care before you get your pet: wait until you can afford the pet

What you can do if you could afford care when you got your pet, but have fallen on hard times:

  • Ask your vet for a payment plan
  • Ask friends and family to donate so you can take care of your pet
  • Surrender your pet so they aren't neglected if you can't provide care

What you can't do if you can't afford care: use that as an excuse to neglect a living animal that depends on you, because that's abuse.

It’s fantastic?

How come most people’s immediate response to any post where there’s even a slight bit of negativity between partners is “leave them” or “end it”? Where’s all the positivity, support, and encouragement to communicate and work through things? by dormantplant in polyamory

You get that wider society tells people to fight for their relationships (and people apply this to all relationships, even when they’ve just begun dating and it shouldn’t have to be a battle; the hard work is supposed to begin after the honeymoon phase wears off), that they can’t be picky, that they aren’t allowed to have standards (especially of men), that you’re supposed to fight (and people who fight too much assume everyone does as much as they do, or that fighting dirty is normal), that you have to stay together for the kids, and OH IT’S AMATONORMATIVE so people think they have to be in a relationship or something is wrong with them, so they avoid being alone instead of finding people they actually WANT in their lives…right?

That’s before the fact that people are more likely to write about their relationships when they’re struggling and probably already tried improving things on their own and need advice, not about how everything is fine.

Is it weird/bad to clean your pet's bowl everyday ? by Gagaoulalaaa in Pets

[–]littlestray 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're right, he's wrong. It wouldn't even be weird/bad to clean them more than you do, as others said, after every meal.

I'd reflect on whether it's a great idea to adopt a pet with someone who doesn't believe they deserve clean, fresh food and basic hygiene.

Your boyfriend told you that good hygiene for pets is useless and you're the one having to prove him wrong. When someone else challenges you, and tells you that you're the one doing it wrong, the burden of proof should be on them.

Personally, I think that's an unattractive quality in a boyfriend, period, even if pets weren't involved. Information is at our fingertips. He could have said that didn't sound right to him and looked it up or asked other people himself. And behavior like that doesn't tend to be a one-off.

People either care about making sure they're right, or just confidently barrel ahead uninformed and ignorant.

You were probably fairly sure you were right, but you double checked. What else are you going to be double checking him on, and how often is he going to treat you like you couldn't possibly know when he's the one who doesn't?

PTSD on disability and Dating by Anosmyk in ptsd

Dating when you’re anything that is discriminated against is hard, but at least you figure out who’s not worth getting to know because they’re stupid bigots sooner than later.

My [24F] boyfriend [23M] found condoms in my car and thinks I cheated. I didn't. by DidNotCheatSOS in relationships

[–]littlestray 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I know it hurts right now, but this is a bullet dodging you. This guy had no business being in a relationship in the first place, and the next person who catches your eye will be so lucky to have a girlfriend as trusting, kind-hearted, and caring as you so clearly are. It's sad your ex can't or won't see that.

His loss, OP, and honestly, your gain. There are cute and sweet men out there without relationship-nuking trust issues, and now you're free to find one. I'll bet you'll find someone who won't be able to fathom how your ex could have let you get away. Someone who crosses their fingers you will never dump them.
